What our students say…

In my days at Richmond I was actively participating in the campus activities and events. I was a Resident Director (RD), student ambassador and assisted Student Affairs in ensuring the welfare of other students.

After I graduated from Richmond with a BA in Business Administration: International Business* (Minor in Finance), I continued my studies at London School of Economics (LSE). I then secured a training contract with magic circle firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer while completing my diploma in law and the accelerated legal practice course at BPP Law School.

A key element of the Richmond experience is that “students learn to respect, value and appreciate the diversity and international background of other students; something I could experience beyond the classroom.” Additionally, I recognized the benefits of small class sizes, the alumni community and strong career support that allowed me land into an exciting role as Associate at White & Case LLP.
